Value Collection JY9036476 Metric Fine Tap Set 3 Pc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION JY9036476 is a 3-piece metric fine tap set designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces where precise, fine-pitch threads are required. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, these taps deliver consistent cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The set features a 4-flute design that promotes chip evacuation and thread accuracy. Each tap measures 5.125 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch thread length, providing adequate reach for most standard tapping depths. Machinist and maintenance professionals working in metric fine thread applications will find this set well suited for production and repair work.

This tap set is appropriate for use in machine shop, industrial maintenance, and field repair environments where metric fine thread standards are specified. The right-hand thread direction suits the vast majority of standard fastener applications. The D7 thread limit designation indicates the tolerance class, making these taps compatible with precision threading tasks requiring controlled fit. The plastic storage case keeps the set organized between uses and protects cutting edges during transport and storage.

Installation Notes

Tap installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with threading operations and proper cutting fluid application. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the tap is aligned perpendicular to the work surface to prevent tap breakage. Always back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind-hole applications. Follow applicable shop safety practices and manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds when power tapping.
